Did you know: how long an upgrade from Vista SP1 to Windows 7 could take?

I guest it would be faster to backup personal data on another partition/hard-drive and to make a clean install

You're soooooo right!

I tested once to upgrade and it took just 5 hours!! OK, it's just a quarter of the time MS is telling, BUT???

In the meantime I use WET and wait for the release from PCmover!!

That "650GB data" is limited to 'loose' data, like pictures and documents, and not the applications themselves (like Office).
Given that much data in addition to 40 applications installed, yeah.. I can see it taking a while.
BUT like everything... I'm sure the time is rounded WAY up and rapidly scaled down as the process starts.

I would bet most people will fall into the Medium User profile, so figure ~120 minutes give or take.

As I wrote, it was just the first and even last test for to upgrade! Will wait for PCmover and test again!

Normally an upgrade process of a rig not fully loaded with data takes around 3-4 hours.
Since a clean install is much better and takes up to 30 minutes max I reserve the 3 hours to prepare/backup the data and then restore it on a clean-installed OS.
Much better solution IMHO.
